Wow, great shot. Luminescent, is there some sparkle or glitter effect in that deep shine (like some car paints)?
In comparison the red in the stock photo provided by Fenix looks really dull like something dipped in red house paint.
Anyone know if the LOD Q4 will be available in other colors, or any rumors of a Q5 version?
I like my Q4, but mine really doesn't look like the above.
My Q4 looks much more pale, no where near as deep in color. It almost looks like copper-ish orange red.:shrug:
The beam is certainly in no means pretty, mine is quite ringy on a white wall, along with a noticeable halo surrounding the main spill.
However, this is the first light that made me say "WOW" since getting my first P1.......
It's one freakin bright light!

But I won't be selling my L0D-Q4, because it's defenetely a KEEPER :twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs
I just got mine and it has the "copper-ish orange red" body color. It looks great and I am impressed by its performance. I ordered another one. Paul
The Vf of the Q5 is too high for the LOD's circuitry, so it will probably never be made. Maybe we'll get lucky with an R-2 bin if the Vf is low enough, or some R100's with textured reflectors.
Wow, thanks for the super thorough details on this light, Luminescent. How could one resist buying it with such a convincing report?
Btw, do you own a Dexlight X.1? I'm curious to know your comparison thoughts, given the close pricing.
For those who insist on a perfect beam, you might want to bug the Fenix-Store about coming out with a nice batch of textured reflector L0D Rebel 100's in the future. I have always found the Rebel80 L0D's a little disapointing (because they are not really much brighter than a P4), but they were reported to have near perfect beams.
A nice Rebel 100 based L0D-RB100 would be just as bright as the Q4 but with a near perfect beam, and the lower Vf of the Rebel emitter should even give a few extra minutes of runtime. As nice as this light would be, lots of folks have reported problems with 10440's in Rebel based L0D's, so this new light should probably carry a warning about not using it with 10440 cells.
Personally, I have no interest in running 10440 cells (because these new lights work incredibly well even with standard NiMH batteries), and if Fenix offers a L0D-RB100 (with textured reflector), I will buy one the day it's offered.
